Bud Bronson & The Good Timers are donating proceeds raised from all of their merchandise/record/digital sales to two of Denver's finest South Broadway establishments, the Hi-Dive and Mutiny Information Cafe. We support their decision! Below is a statement from the band on how/why they're doing this and links if you'd like to grab stuff and are able to lend your support. Thanks!
Love,
The Staff
Hey
friends. Our hearts go out to all those that are on the frontlines
fighting COVID-19, whether in hospitals or grocery stores or wherever
else people are forced to leave their houses to work right now. We’re
also very concerned about all the small businesses that are feeling
severe near-term and long-term effects of the shutdown. It’s important
that when we get through this, we have independent, locally owned small
businesses to return to. Denver has been under siege from developers for
years – and the COVID-19 pandemic is very seriously threatening to
accelerate the process, likely irreversibly. That’s why we’re
indefinitely donating all our merch proceeds to two South Broadway scene
stalwarts: Hi-Dive and Mutiny Information Cafe.
There
are a ton of small businesses we love and are concerned about. We chose
these two because they have not only always been huge supporters of our
band, but are so important to so many people in our overall community.
Our donations retroactively apply to everyone who already bought merch
over the previous weeks. We will continue donating proceeds until
businesses reopen.
We've
updated our web store to include a ton of newer stuff. We'll include
hand-written thank you notes, as we always do, and do our best to
fulfill any other specific requests. Snappy Little Numbers Quality
Audio Recordings, the label that issued "Between The Outfield And Outer
Space", will also be earmarking BTOAOS physical/digital revenue
generated through their commerce locations to go to Hi-Dive and Mutiny
Information Cafe for the duration of our campaign as well.
We
understand there are a million charities, causes, businesses and people
in need of your support right now. We thank everyone who has made an
effort to help someone in need. If you feel moved to support the places
we’ve chose to support, we are humbled to help you do so.
Keep your head up. Even in this Brave New World Series, the game is far from over.
